Israeli forces have shot and wounded a Palestinian in the besieged Gaza Strip, once again violating the ceasefire agreement of November 2012.
According to Palestinian medical sources, the incident occurred in the north of the besieged enclave on Monday, when Israeli forces shot the Palestinian in the leg.
The Tel Aviv regime has repeatedly violated the terms of the truce it signed with Palestinians, which ended the eight-day Israeli war on Gaza on November 21.
On January 14, Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian farmer near the city of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, bringing to four the number of Palestinians killed after the ceasefire.
The Israeli regime launched a war on the besieged Palestinian territory during the eight-day period of November 14-21, 2012, which killed over 160 Palestinians, including many women and children, and injured about 1,200 others.
Gaza has been blockaded since 2007, which is a situation that has caused a decline in the standard of living, unprecedented levels of unemployment, and unrelenting poverty.
The Tel Aviv regime denies about 1.7 million people in Gaza their basic rights, such as freedom of movement, jobs that pay proper wages, and adequate healthcare and education.
